The recent retirement of First Lieut.
Thomas w. Lord, Twentieth infantry, Fort
Assinniboine, Mont, has awakened much
adverse criticism of the methods employed
by the war department. Lieut. Lord enlisted
in Company K, Seventeenth Maine infantry
in 1862, and served honorably and faithfully
until Ang 4, 1865, when he was honorabIy
mustered out. He won his commission in the
field, where he lost limb, and was brevetted
first lieutenant and captain for gallant and
meritorious services in the battle of Chan
cellorsville Va He has served twenty-five
years with an artificial limb, and was retired
for that cause when within few DAYS of
promotion consequent upon the retirement
of Capt. Fletcher, of his regiment. The ac-
ton of the authorities in depriving Lieut..
Lord of well-earned promotion is cited as
case of fragrant injustice. Lieut.. Lord was
exceedingly popular in the army.
Under the provisions of an act of congress
